Daftar Isi:
- The development in agricultural sector in order to improve farmers’ welfare must be in balanced with the improvement of the farmers’ income. One of the developing superior commodities in agricultural sector of West Sumatra is the natural rubber or caoutchouc. This paper aims to find out the social relations in the rural economic transactions of the superior commodities in Kabupaten Sijunjung, West Sumatra. The study is presented in interpretative hermeneutic methods. The research was conducted in kecamatan Sumpur Kudus, Kabupaten Sijunjung, which was purposively chosen because the area is considered as one of the main export commodities of West Sumatra. Data collection techniques applied were the observation and in-depth interviews. The social relations formed among the rubber farmers and the toke (resellers) is formed based on the kinship, mostly within relatives. Also, the relations are conducted because it is easy to have money loans because of the constant partnerships. At the Kabupaten level, the opportunity to build social relationship is smaller because the only connector is Idep, the loyal of Sijunjung area.
